Yes. I made an Appender that changes the filename based on the time. You could change it based on anything in the LoggingEvent. http://stauffer.james.googlepages.com/DateFormatFileAppender.java

In my application, we have the consumer pass in the name of the application that is using our service. So we generally only have about 4,5 consumers. This is small enough that we can manually add them to the properties file. However, as our utility grows I don't want to have to maintain or add appenders to the properties file. Is it possible to dynamically change the file name of a log file based on a value? So if someone calls a web service, if I call getLogger or maybe MDC/NDC is there a way to change the name of the log file based a value passed in at runtime?

Ah, a web application... no way to know beforehand every single client's id. mmm, I don't think you can have a log file per client, but maybe you can still include the ip address in the logger name. That way, you can grep over the logs with the ip address of a given client to study just that client's activity. -- Javier González Nicolini --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------- Important Notice to Recipients: It is important that you do not use e-mail to request, authorize or effect the purchase or sale of any security or commodity, to send fund transfer instructions, or to effect any other transactions.
